Game Shooting
Scotland is famous for the quality of its sporting bird shooting and the professional way in which sporting days are managed and conservation practices are undertaken. Red Grouse, which are unique to the United Kingdom, fly low and hard over the purple heather clad hills and provide what many regard as the most challenging sporting bird anywhere in the world. But the grouse is just one amongst an array of testing quarry species that are managed in a modern conservation minded manner by professional gamekeepers throughout the country. Learn more about the wide variety of species managed for sporting shooting tourism in Scotland.
